A major Diaspora engagement event held to commemorate the 27th coronation anniversary of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has highlighted the growing influence of faith and cultural leadership in promoting peace and national development, with Prophet Eric Boahen Uche receiving special recognition.
The General Overseer of Reign House Chapel was honoured at the World Meets in Ghana Executive Dinner Ball, a high-profile gathering organised by E ON 3 Group, in collaboration with the Diaspora Affairs Office and other partners.
The event took place at the historic Manhyia Palace. The celebration formed part of activities marking the Asantehene’s 27 years on the Golden Stool, a reign widely credited for its emphasis on stability, diplomacy and national unity.
Prophet Uche, who was among a select group of invitees, was recognised for what organisers described as his “transformative ministry” and consistent efforts in promoting spiritual renewal and community cohesion.
He was presented with the Otumfuo Commemorative Gold Medal, an honour reserved for individuals who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to peacebuilding, unity, and global development.
Held under the theme: “Advancing Peace and Sustainable Economic Development Through Royal Vision,” the event underscored the importance of integrating Ghana’s rich cultural heritage with contemporary development strategies.
Organisers emphasised that traditional institutions continue to play a critical role in fostering social harmony, while engagement with the Diaspora remains a key driver of investment, innovation, and national growth.
The ceremony brought together an influential mix of global leaders, policymakers, and members of the African diaspora.
Among the dignitaries present was Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey, who served as Special Guest of Honour.
The evening featured vibrant cultural performances alongside reflections on the Asantehene’s 27-year journey, particularly his contributions to peace diplomacy and the strengthening of traditional governance.
Organisers described the event as both a national milestone and an international platform aimed at aligning tradition with sustainable development goals.
Prophet Uche’s recognition, they noted, symbolises the powerful intersection of faith, leadership and global collaboration in shaping Africa’s future.
